Heheh: “I’m fascinated that some think they should “warn” us that Brighton could lose its reputation as the “dirty weekend capital and cheeky tourist destination” (The Argus, June 19). Surely that’s something to be celebrated, not feared or regretted!”
A hilarious sign encouraging drunks to be noisy when leaving a bar has pointed fun at people who move next to noisy establishments only to complain about the sound later.
A BOOZER has made a cheeky joke to get their own back at moaning neighbours – by hanging a sarcastic sign asking punters to “whisper.” Pub owner Michael Campbell claims he has endured months of whi…
Great idea. They have them in Holland already. They don’t have a homelessness problem as bad as the US or UK but they do have a very flat landscape. These look cool. Though you could just build them on stilts so they don’t need to float, as such.
How floating Dutch homes simply rise with the floodwater
it would have to be made of a fabric with a band pass filter that blocks all wavelengths EXCEPT UV. Not impossible, but not a thing yet. As far as I know. Could be dangerous though, folks will be getting blasted by UV all day long without realising it. So there’s your cancer versus vanity gamble.
PIXELTEQ’s ultraviolet (UV) optical bandpass filters deliver precise transmission of specific UV spectral bands while blocking out-of-band signals at higher and lower wavelengths. The multi-edge bandpass filters transmit wavelengths defined by a nominal center wavelength (CWL) and bandwidth (FWHM ... Read more
Is a material like this possible? ” A lot of materials will not allow visible light through but will allow UV through, as UV is more powerful, just as X-rays can get through your muscles to your bones but visible light can not as easily.” – but no examples given.

The number of ideas that be off-shoots from this simple idea is astounding. check these amazing places some people live, on the water!
From the New Yorker. Imagine all the beautiful locations this would free-up for lovely homes.

If these were transportable to other seaside towns, I think they would be more popular than traditional circuses and fairs.
Good idea, or just have simple ones that move from costal town to town, so the locals can see their home from the sea.
this idea reminds me of this doomed project by Disney
you need a major drone for this but doable I guess.
These already exist but there’s a better looking one on Kickstarter at the moment
Great idea, currently I think they are only using microlites rather than drones – but yeah, James Bond would be first to use one.

So like, opposite of what sunglasses do, right? Sounds good, don’t know if it exists but people are thinking on these lines.
